Pregnancy produce hair on my face,

The hormones changes during pregnancy can cause more of your hair to enter into the resting phase and resulting in the appearance of thicker hair. Usually, this extra hair shows up on your face, arms, belly, nipples or other unwanted places.Then, whether can I have a laser hair removal treatment during pregnancy?It’s really difficult to get a clear cut answer to this scary question. Although laser radiations are electromagnetic radiations that are very different from X-Ray radiations. Lasers have a wavelength similar to light and penetrate only up to few millimeters under skin, It is not able to infiltrate deep inside to the embryo or fetus and hence if out of harm's way. But, There have not been any studies done comprehensively to find out how laser hair removal can affect the fetus especially when it is done on abdomen or bikini area.So, We Recommend
* It is relative safety during early pregnancy. If you must have a laser hair removal treatment, please do it during early pregnancy but stay away from the bikini area.
* If you’ve had excess hair for some time and now want to get rid of it, it is perfectly safe to have laser hair removal done on your face during pregnancy.
* Other cases, The best option is that have a laser hair removal treatment after the baby is delivered.

How to deal with bushy eyebrows and unibrows

Taming Eyebrows for Women
Eyebrows give your face a lot of character but it can also be a problem if they are overly big and bushy or they grow together in one big brow (a so-called monobrow or unibrow). Taming your bows will help you look more groomed and draw attention to your eyes.
If you have a lot of excess eyebrow hair or you want to create a better eyebrow shape then consider a professional salon visit. It's difficult (though not impossible) to create the perfect arch (and have the eyebrows matching) while plucking your own eyebrows.
Beauty therapists generally offer three services to deal with unruly eyebrows:-
*
Plucking - therapists will use professional tweezers and a lighted magnifying glass to pull out the right hairs. They are better able to ensure that you get an even perfect shape than you can yourself by tweezing at home. More about Tweezing and Plucking *
Eyebrow waxing - when I went for an "eyebrow shaping" treatment at my local beauty salon, this is the treatment which the therapist advised. It is a quick method of taming your brows. The therapist paints the perfect shape with the wax and there are only a few stray hairs to remove with tweezers after that. I loved my instant perfectly arched eyebrows and have been able to keep them in shape ever since by tweezing out stray hairs as they grow in.More about Facial Waxing *
Eyebrow threading - some upmarket spas and beauty salons are starting to offer this service which has only been available in ethnic communities up to now. The method uses twists of thread to trap hair and pull it from the root. It is a quicker way of removing eyebrow hair than tweezing and even very short fine hairs are removed leaving brows looking very tidy. More about Threading
Each of these methods of tidying up brow hair can be done at home if you take care but tweezing or plucking is the only method that is really manageable by yourself. With eyebrow waxing you have to be so careful not to get the hot wax into your eyes and you really need a friend to help so that you can keep your eyes shut and the eyebrow stencils which are available to get a good shape are tricky to use with the hot wax. Threading is fine if you are well practised in the art but if you are clumsy it's difficult to get a good shape.Taming brows for men
Usually for men it is just a case of tidying up the natural shape of the eyebrows rather than shaping the perfect arch. Sometimes eyebrows become quite bushy and unruly and eyebrow hairs can grow quite long especially as you get older. The best solution is to trim the eyebrows carefully with small scissors or ask your barber to do this when you have your hair cut.
If you have hair growing between the brows (or a real monobrow / unibrow) you can remove this by tweezing or waxing, at home or in a salon. You will probably find that you can manage to remove this eyebrow hair quite easily with a combination of cold wax strips (safer around the eye area) and plucking with tweezers.
These days all of the treatments open to women are available to men too so don't be shy about visiting a beauty salon - no one will raise an eyebrow (!) if you ask about eyebrow waxing, threading or shaping.

How to wax your face, chin and upper lip

Waxing is one of the most popular methods for removing unsightly facial hair. It is quick, cheap and convenient to do yourself at home. While other DIY methods for removing facial hair such as depilatory creams and shaving leave you with stubble and the problem of regrowth within days if not hours, waxing will leave your face hair free for two to six weeks at a time.
Not only that but hairs tend to grow in finer and over time you will find the growth of hair getting sparser.
Having said all that it doesn't suit everyone. Most people will get a temporary reaction to facial waxing which brings them out in small red spots and skin with be sore and red for a couple of hours after waxing. But if you have particularly sensitive delicate skin you may find that you come out in a rash which refuses to budge and your skin may even bleed. Also darker skinned women may suffer some discoloration from waxing and if you have been using retinols or acne preparations such as Accutane which thin the skin you should avoid waxing altogether until a month or so after you stop using them (check with a beauty therapist and your doctor if you're unsure). Always proceed cautiously, in any case, when you begin and try waxing a small area to start with.
You may find that some parts of your face are more suitable for waxing than others with sideburns being the least sensitive and other parts of your face being the most difficult to wax. While the chin is not particularly sensitive, hairs here are quite stubborn so you may find waxing there difficult for that reason.
It's a case of finding out what works for your particular face and skin.
There's no doubt about it waxing hurts a bit but most people find it pretty tolerable if a good technique as described here is used. Above all be sure and pull the skin taut when removing the wax and after yanking off the strip of wax apply pressure to the area to soothe it. If your pain threshold is low you could take over the counter pain relief medication an hour or so before removing hair and that should help reduce the pain. Cool compresses or a mild hydrocortisone cream after waxing may also help soothe the skin.
If, after reading this, you're still a bit nervous about waxing your face (and even if you're not) it's a good idea to have facial waxing first of all at a beauty salon where you will get a much better idea of what is involved and how a professional goes about removing your unwanted hair.

8 Methods to Women Facial Hair Removal

The face is the most distressing place for a woman to have unwanted hair. There is no hiding it away. And it is also the place which normally distinguishes the female face from the male so it is regarded by many as unfeminine. Although many men find a small amount of facial hair on a woman quite acceptable most women do not feel the same way and want to remove it.
1.
Shaving is unsuitable (although many women resort to it) simply because the hair grows back with a harsh stubble effect. Also there is the danger of suffering a "5 o' clock shadow" because the hair grows back so quickly and most women do not relish the prospect of a daily shave. More about Shaving
2.
Depilatory creams are available which are suitable for facial use. Regrowth is slightly slower than for shaving and a bit less stubbly. Be sure to choose a hair remover cream specially formulated for facial use and follow the instructions carefully, in particular by doing a patch test to avoid burning the skin. More about Depilatories 3.
Plucking is useful for individual hairs, for example if you have a few stray chin hairs and it is one of the best methods to keep eyebrows in shape but it can be sore and time consuming for larger areas of the face and can result in irritation and some discoloration for darker-skinned women. More about Tweezing and Plucking 4.
Waxing using cold wax strips can be easily managed at home and most people do not find it too painful to handle small strips at a time for small areas of the face but you will have a degree of redness afterwards so it's not advisable to use wax just before you go out. It will take a few hours at best for your skin to settle down. You can also buy hot wax kits if you are waxing a larger area of your face but you may find these quite tricky to use. More about Waxing 5.
Threading is an ancient art which orginated in the Middle east and India, now on offer at upmarket beauty salons. More about Threading 6.
Bleaching : Though bleaching does not actually involve removing hair, it is a good way of disguising small amounts of fine dark hair on the face. A quick bleach every 2 to 3 weeks may be all you need to resolve your excess hair problem. 7.
Laser hair removal : The newest form of treatment for facial hair is laser hair removal. It is costly and results are not permanent although you may experience some permanent reduction in hair growth. A laser hair removal treatment for the upper lip costs around $100 and up to six treatments may be needed for the initial course with maintenance treatments thereafter. The treatment is slightly painful and will leave your skin a little red and sore. It is a good choice for dealing with larger areas of facial hair if having regular electrolysis appointments would be inconvenient or too costly. More about Laser Hair Removal 8.
Electrolysis : While there is a small risk of some scarring, electrolysis is generally the best method of dealing with excess hair on the face. Treatments may be quite painful (or you may just feel a little discomfort) and you will find that your skin is sore and red after each treatment. Several sessions will probably be needed over many months to permanently remove the hair but most people feel it is well worth it to have the problem resolved for good.
